As you can see from my signature I have about the same dx. I'm 5 months post tx and am doing ok. I will be trying to return to work at the beginning of sept. I agree with what the others have said. I was glad to get my dx and understand it but I never went down the whole prognosis street. For me it made no difference because I planned to fight as hard as I could and focusing on my chances would only distract me. I still do not know the prognosis and have only came across it occassionally on this sight when someones bothers to put in a post. I just ignore it then. People say it is irresponsible because of having things in order and all that crap. Having my affairs in order should be done whether I have cancer or not so I vowed to do what has been suggested to me. It has been suggested and is really my only choice and that is get up each day and do what is in front of me to do. A few months ago that was simply get my treatments and fight. Now it is prepare to return to life as normal as it will be and most of all continue to fulfill my responsibilities. Good luck to you and Buzz. You guys can do this.
